be ExClnded.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, August 17.-Delegations to the
united labor State convention arrived during lasG
night and this morning. Henry George, Dr. Nc
Glynn, John McMakln, and other leaders came
this morning and are at party headquarters AT th:
Empire House. where the State executive commit
tee were in session all the forenoon. George Nc
Glynn and McMaktn were In constant consuita-.
tton with the committee which was engaged In
laying out work for the convention. George and
McGlynn held reception In the committee-rOom
from 3 TO 10 O'Clock, but nothing was said beyond
the exchange OF greetings and hopeful anticipa-
tOnS OF success or the labor cause with delegates
from all parts OF the State. The executive CON-,
mfttee made up the list OF members CT the conven-
tiOn, recognizing in all cases regularly chosen
united labor delegates and
EXCLUDING soCIALIsTIC DELEGATES
Contestants are to be allowed to present their
claims in open convention, when they will be re-
ferred to the committee on credentials. The ex-
ecut1ve committee holds that members OF any
other political party are Ineligible TO membership
in the united labor convention. No question was
raised as to occasional socialist delegates whose
names appeared in delegations outside OF New
York and Brooklyn. A committee from the union
labor convention, headed by John j. JUNO, with
nearly full membership met this forenoon and
convention. They propose, il recognized on terms
OF equality, to withdraw their State ticket and
unite upon q combination ticket. They adhere to
the terms OF the union laid down by Rochester
convention.
THE UNION LABOR PARTY NOT RECOGNIZED.
John McMack1n seems to have made a ruling
that will control the united labor convention
that none but members OF that party without
other Affiliations shall be recognized and that the
Union Labor Party be not recognized or affiliated
with. This rule excludes the distinctive socialist
delegations as well as Union Labor Party con-
lerees. McMacktn last night denounced the Union
Labor Party as 'tramps and pirates, and this ex-
preston concealed much feeling In Junfos COM
m1ttee, who retOrt that New York city deiega-
ttOns In to-day'S convention are nearly all MEN,
berS OF Tammany Hall, and are taking care OF as
ptratfOnS or the candidates for legislative OnceS
Bitter feeling Is manifested between the two par
ties.
When 12 O'Clock came, the hour at which the
convention was called TO open, Secretary Levy ap-
peared en- the platform before an audience OF about
200 persons and announced that the convention
delay was caused by an effort In the executive
committee to consolidate the New York delegations
and cOnciliate the SOcialiStic elements.
Union Labor party representatives give up hope
OF recognition or compromise. They sent over
tureS to which no responses were returned
